Luscious Lemon Sauce

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I'm really fond of this sauce and always try to keep a jar of it in the refrigerator. I can't imagine having gingerbread without it and, because lemon is my chocolate, I generally put it on ice cream and bread pudding as well. It has the velvety texture and flavor of a good lemon curd, but it flows with the easy grace of a well-made chocolate sauce. This is really easy to make and I'm featuring it here because I think any serious collection of recipes should include a great lemon sauce. This is a great, if simple sauce. It keeps for up to a month in the refrigerator. That being said, it is still best served warm. You can warm the sauce in the microwave or in a pot of barely simmering water. Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:1 large egg - very well beaten1/4 cup cold waterjuice of 1 lemon - approximately 3 tablespoonsfinely grated peel of half a lemon3/4 cup sugar1/2 cup butterDirections:In a small saucepan, whisk beaten egg, water, lemon juice and peel until well blended. Place pan on medium heat and whisk in sugar. Add butter and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sauce comes to a full boil. Remove from heat, cool slightly and serve warm. Yield: 1-1/2 cups.

Lemon is my chocolate, too. Wait. Caramel might be. Hmmm... I made your delicious lemon pudding today and just ate a second helping. (Burp.) Y.u.m.! Gotta try this lemon sauce, too. I luv your blog and have so many of your recipes. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

Smile. I think lemon is my chocolate too! I've never thought of putting lemon sauce on my icecream though...what a great idea! Thank you for sharing with me tonight. I hope you have a great Friday. I'm so ready for the weekend!

I really have missed quite a bit of your posts, my mum has fallen ill, so I do apologize. You know.. then life gets busy.. yadda ...I just finished up the new site... but bare with me while I'm still tweaking it..

On a lighter note.... the lemon sauce sounds absolutely terrific... I lurv it.

I don't think I have ever had lemon sauce like that and since I love a good lemon curd, this sound scrumptious! I will have to bookmark this recipe as well (along with all your other wonderful lemon recipes), it sounds like a winner! :o)
